I agree with you regarding the war between populists and establishment, but I don’t think Trump fits into that as more than a cataclyst. The Obama story was the same: Hope and Change Populism.

Trump is business establishment through and through and has managed to wake a populist movement for his own enrichment.

He (and his sycophantic cronies) were (and continue to be) very much part of the “I got mine” greed establishment.

Instead of answering to the Population, it seems that Trump and his crew care only for self-enrichment. How he managed to capture the imagination of a Populist movement is indication of the total lack of alternatives.

This seems to be a little bit different than other financial crashes where the "little guys" lost out -- in previous situations, most went in trusting that they wouldn't be gambling their savings away because of some financial trust. Now, however, most people are purchasing GME not because they've looked at the underlying value of GameStop and realized it's value, but because they're guessing the price will go up, but deep down know that someone will be left buying high and selling really low.

Not sure exactly what to call it, but it seems to be a difference in consent to gamble $$, if that makes sense.
Okay, I get it. I have work to do.
This is a question of time wasted vs time invested.

Are there times when asking immediately is more efficient? Absolutely.

Are there times where asking my roommate to do my homework would have been more efficient? Absolutely.

Now what about if you encounter a similar (but not exact) problem in the future? Do you have the skills to figure it out now or do you still need to ask?

In both cases, when you view the time to work through a problem as wasted, you're failing to invest in your future. Take the 30 minutes to read the documentation and understand it, everything is not a sprint to "make it work".

What if you don't have a solution after 30 minutes? Take another 30 and write down your problem. If you can't clearly explain your problem in plain language (including background, code snippets, links, screenshots as needed), you probably should - as a matter of courtesy prior to bringing anyone into a surprise debugging session.
I'm not making claims, if that's what you mean. The burden of proof is on the person I was replying to.
Yeah. It read just as a simplified explainer of shorting.
You might have some points to make but you lost me at "All the anti establishment movement is nihilistic in its core."

Sweeping generalities like this are anathema to discourse.
For the record, shorting stocks has been around for as long as capital markets have been around (1609):

Bond markets started early than that:

Where is the anger? On social media I see mostly people who sort of gleefully think the chaos is funny.
The advice has always been and continues to be to use services such as Tor (and a properly secured computing environment) to access the less mainstream areas of the internet.
Flash Boys sold front running as something bad for regular people, but you can only front run someone like Goldman Sachs. A retail trader just makes one trade at a time, he isn’t trading in multiple blocks and has nothing to front run. All HFT does for you is fulfill your trade in less than a day and get some market making fees.
No claims, just explaining how shorts work.
Surely the retail traders will be able to convince the brokerages to set trading limits when they start to lose their shirts. [0]

Wait, doesn't the US has generic medicine? In Brazil they have managed to keep the prices low for medicine in general.
Thanks. Great explanation.

I don't get the over 100 percent part though. Is it required to squeeze the short (i.e., beat hedge-fund at this game)? Wouldn't hedge-fund still need to purchase 100 cows even if they only borrowed once?

Because as I understand, the way it works is that:

- You borrow 100 cows.

- You sell them immediately.

- You wait for the cow price to drop.

- Now you buy 100 cows, netting a profit. (but they need to buy back those 100 cows here, and they only borrowed once).

- Now you return those 100 cows to the lender.
Silicon Valley’s Double Standard
Based on the Reddit post someone got around auto-modding bots by using UTF-8 icelandic characters that look the same as the english ones to say naughty things to report the Discord.

Given that it has 250,000 users i imagine individual posts would be easy to miss manually.
Next maybe we can just ban Hacker News. I’ve heard some people there _actively promote_ making it harder to censor things on the internet.
New non-discord chat server for WSB https://chatte.rs
It's currently using fasttalk2-re, a library capable of transmitting arbitrary dynamically typed values we developed in-house. While it uses the same protocol as https://arras.io, the code was completely rewritten from scratch. Here's the code: https://gist.github.com/CrazyPython/bb9505d4813cbd68235bb2da...

License: GPLv2+. Note the GPL doesn't apply to your server code or any art you use. The only thing this asks you to do is publish your client source code.
Derogatory remarks will be the downfall of WSB just like tax evasion was the downfall of Al Capone.
> This argument seems to come up for every criticism of OO. The criticism is invalid because true OO would never do that.

This passertion is disingenuous. The whole point is that the reason why bad code is bad is not because it's OO, it's because it's bad code.

You do not fix bad code by switching programming paradigm, specially if it's to move back to procedural programming and wheel reinvention due to irrational class-phobia.
Its cute that you think anyone in the cozy wall street / hedge fund family would go to jail for lying.

> If a UK citizen were to post as offensively as a US citizen they would and have been arrested.

The idea of posting something and being arrested disgusts me. The bar around the world for such an action should be just as high as it is in America. If I post that I'm going to come and kill you, thinkingemote, at 10:17 a.m. at your place of work located at <insert address here>, then by all means I deserve to be arrested. I've made a credible threat with credible information, verified by the fact I know your name and your workplace address.

However, saying something "mean" to you, or "misgendering" you, or even calling you a racial slur, should never be enough to arrest someone.

It reminds me of one of the few (maybe only...) great lines from Ghostbusters 2: "Being miserable and treating other people like dirt is every New Yorker's God-given right!"

So it should be online as well. If you don't like it, you can absent yourself from the platform(s), and in almost every case, if you don't want to do that, you can block the other person.

I agree. The anger seems like an ancillary phenomenon. People seem to be buying because they think it's a sure thing that the asset price will increase. Maybe anger at shorters helps justify exploiting their error, but it's not the primary motive.

I tend to think people's losses will be smaller (as individuals) then everyone seems to think. This is reddit we're talking about, and people using RobinHood. I'm guessing losses for those that didn't get out will be limited to beer money. I think the reason they could squeeze the shorts is because of the size of their army, not the depth of their war chest...

After all, its all about the lulz...

I'm of two minds.

It's absolutely true that unpopular minorities (of whatever kind) should be able to talk. It's also absolutely true that virality can create dangerous situations which are difficult to control.

Instead of banning, which I agree has problems, I favor putting questionable communities in a 'slow mode' where people need to wait to join them (and maybe communications within the community are delayed). Then, in 5 or 10 or 15 days, you can see if the community is still 'a problem' (whatever that means in this situation) and if greater moderation is required. The idea is to preserve communities that build over time, give admins time to make decisions, and highlight the hard questions that need to be answered by platforms.

I am amused that every researcher is asked to defend how their research will help industry, as if there is no value in the pursuit of knowledge that has no known application. No one starts studying wombat poop because they are hoping that they can someday make some industrial process 1% more efficient.
I don't think that's necessarily alternative. Probably, both your theory and mine are parts of the explanation.

I highly recommend getting a continuous glucose monitor and wearing it for at least a few weeks. I was able to find a model at about $35/week, which required a prescription (US).

You can quickly get a good idea about how different foods and exercises affect your blood glucose. For me it was fun and motivating. It's helped a lot to put my diabetes into complete remission. The improvement in my daily quality of life is not subtle.

Since an improvement in your insulin levels can easily add healthy years to your life, it's worth doing even if you have no diagnosis of (pre)diabetes.
Oh, hmm. That's quite unfortunate…
Sure there are some closely managed algorithms but I think you underestimate how many algorithmic traders are ML shops that don't do anything other than "whatever makes the number biggest at the end of the day"
Peat fire is much like gunpowder fire, just much slower. Peat naturally accumulate nitrates (saltpeters among others) which are essential in the gunpowder burning process.

As an evidence, I'd like to present a study that proves that peat emits NO2: https://www.jstor.org/stable/2845931?seq=1

This is why peat can burn underground without much access to oxygen. And, burning underground, it does not need much external heat.
What are you defining as "these claims"?
In an OO program all state is global, because you can't understand any given object's behaviour without knowing what its state is and what the behaviours of all the objects it communicates with are, and you can't understand those without knowing their states either.

State can and should be hierarchical - and you can do that easily in FP - but the idea that OO lets you make it somehow non-global is a myth.

That isn't remotely insider trading, and the slur is farcical.

Ignoring that Tesla is one of the largest publicly traded companies in the world (it's what, 5th largest in the world now?), anyone on the planet knew that the Biden admin was going to push low emissions, green energy, etc. This was all public plans. There is positively nothing "insider" about that. And buying some call options when it's at some all-time highs is about the shittiest way to exercise "insider" info.
Isn't this more like "10000 people each buy a fraction of the 100 cows" and you need all 10,000 of them to coordinate extremely well to manage it?

Would even getting 1 cow from someone breaking with the big group let you break the pressure if the person you initially borrowed the cows from isn't part of the group trying to squeeze you? Return them 1 cow first, then buy it back, then return it again as the second cow you borrowed, etc? You're gonna lose on this trade, but so is everyone else, then?

the only thing resembling a "claim" is greater than 100% short interest on the security. This information is public https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/GME/short-interest/

As of this comment, it's 134%. So, 134 cows are borrowed from a base of 100.

Founder here - thanks for giving that a try!

It's a good question.

There's still a lot to be optimized on the video side of things. But the reason it took 2 minutes is because of things like:

- Checking the video length before rendering
- Converting to a standardized format so that the renderer doesn't trip up
- Handing off to AWS Lambda, which involves some network I/O
- Handing back to my Rails app

So there's a lot of back-and-forth right now that could be optimized.

It will scale nicely under high workloads because my main Rails app isn't really doing much except handing off to AWS Lambda, but this means there is a speed hit both in terms of the I/O and also the Lambda being underpowered.

You can actually see the two main processes happening if you watch the progress bar on the video demo.

You'll notice that the first 50% is a bit slow - that's my Rails app doing some validations, conversions, and packaging things up nicely for the Lambda.

The last 50% seems to move faster - that's the Lambda rendering the final video and then passing it back to Rails.

There's definitely a lot of scope for speeding things up in the first 50%.

As for disrupting long-running processes, I can safely deploy my Rails app any time as it's not performing any of the rendering jobs (on images or video) it's just acting as the job expeditor and receiver of webhooks.
> FastComments prioritizes speed and user experience above all else

Just from reading the example code, I see a potential performance optimization.

A site could make pages with FastComments load and render a bit faster by loading your script using <script async>, <script defer> or both together, so the page load time doesn't depend on a round trip to your CDN.

The inline script would have to be slightly different for this to work, but not much different.
Just google "GME Short Float". I would also suggest not using so strong language and almost accuse someone, without at least googling the info.

Many jobs of the modern economy require both a car and a mobile data plan. Consider

Uber Driver
Instacart Shopper
TaskRabbit
Redfin sales agent
DoorDasher

If someone falls below the point where they can afford the requirements for typical jobs, then they may enter into a spiral where there is no path out of poverty.

There was a great moment of irony in my early career where lacking a job post-college ('08 reccession) I was unable to pay my student loans. 6 months after graduating I received an offer from Sallie Mae to work as an engineer, however due to corporate policy a sallie mae will not employ anyone who is arrears on their student debt.

At this point, owing approximately $2000 and only had $250 to my name which was required for rent, food, and the 18 year old ford escort that I needed to drive to work.

I was able to arrange the money, but ultimately I was within a day of being put out of work for lack of ability to pay a debt. Had this occurred I likely would not have been able to work in software, and in all likelihood the bank may never have gotten their money back on the student loans.

The key thing I disagree about in the article is this:

> What about interfaces/abstract base classes?
Just try writing without them, I promise it's going to be OK.

You could write the code without formal interfaces, but I hope you're going to at least put in comments that define what things you expect to be on the modules/objects you're plugging in. And hopefully your large system is composed of many modules that work together in harmony, as opposed to being just a huge mass of code.

In any non-trivial codebase, having good interfaces / contracts is key to keeping a good clean design. You can make a nice clean large codebase without OO, but you can't without good clear interfaces. It's important to know what you can change in one part of the code without having to go change the rest of the code to adapt to that change.

Python doesn't have the equivalent of C# interfaces or Java interfaces, but having a clear definition of what's expected is still helpful even in a dynamic language like Python. These definitions are helpful to make the code clear, maintainable, and understandable. At a bare minimum it's helpful to do that with comments, but doing that with something like python's ABC module is even better.

Well over 100% of GME’s float was short.

The cows are GME shares. The repeated sale of cows corresponds to short interest in GME greater than the number of available shares.

It's the good part of classes (namespacing) without the bad part (inheritance).
You don't need to borrow more than 100 cows, the short squeeze of Porsche/VW had a much lower short interest because the shares were all tied up in institutional holdings.

I agree with you but I don't have any uneasy feelings -- these are private companies doing whatever they want with their resources. The sooner everybody wakes up to this fact, the sooner all this pointless hand-wringing will be over.
The short sellers are the ones holding the bag. Granted the last wave of fools to join the party won’t do so well either, but this is a wealth transfer from institutional to retail investors.
I would never use a Google messages product after their routine bungling. It is a running joke. They have to fire all their VPs and PMs responsible for the array of messaging apps and come up with ONE cohesive app.

From everything I've read its a result of the culture at Google, where promotions are given to those who come up with something new, not to those who take something existing and make it great.
It's just for historical/ backwards compatibility reasons. These types have been part of Python from before it had classes. Today, they are classes and can be subclassed, etc, but too much code relies on their existing names to change them to match the modern convention.
Ironically it probably brought a lot more attention to Discord than they would've had otherwise. I didn't see a single news article mention the Discord group until it was banned. Why would they?
